Each row takes every possible start date in the fund's history and computes the annualised return (CAGR) over that window. Avg/Median = the typical outcome; Min/Max = worst and best; % Pos = how often the window ended positive; % >12 = how often it beat 12% a year. Higher consistency means timing mattered less.
Frequently asked questions
What does Tata Ethical Fund invest in?
It invests primarily in companies tied to a single sector or theme.
How is this fund classified?

How often is the NAV updated?
Mutual fund NAVs are declared by the AMC on every business day. This page sources NAV from public AMFI data and refreshes twice daily.

Rolling return averages the fund's annualised return over every possible window of a given length across its history, rather than a single start-to-end period — reducing the effect of one lucky or unlucky entry date.
Is past performance a guarantee of future returns?
No. Past performance does not indicate future results; mutual fund values fluctuate with markets. Read all scheme-related documents carefully before investing.
